📉 BTC breaks below 113,000! Is it a pullback trap or a buying opportunity? Understand these 3 signals before acting 🚨
Last night, the crypto market collectively plunged: Bitcoin fell below the 113,000 USD mark, Ethereum dropped 5% in a single day to around 4,100 USD, and mainstream coins like Solana also faced significant declines. Is this downturn a correction in the bull market or the start of an adjustment? Analyze key signals before making a decision! 💡
🔍 Truth about the pullback: Macro and emotional resonance
The decline is not an isolated event: Before Fed Chair Powell's speech, the market preemptively hedged; the US tech stocks plummeted, creating a linkage (the correlation between Bitcoin and Nasdaq reached a new high of 0.5), with funds withdrawing from high-risk assets. Combined with prior leverage liquidation, this is similar to the self-correction following the frenzy at the end of 2024.
Be cautious: The total market value of cryptocurrencies, excluding Bitcoin, has dropped 41% since last December, and the scale of venture capital has halved. Structural signals are worth paying attention to ⚠️
📊 Key technical points
Bitcoin: 118,800 USD is recent support; falling below 117,300 requires caution for a trend reversal;
Ethereum: 4,000 USD is the bullish defense line, with the market currently in a tug-of-war around 4,100;
Common risks: Decreased trading volume + pullback pressure after RSI is overbought, indicating insufficient short-term momentum
🤔 Buy more or wait? Three types of strategies
Conservatives (risk-averse):
Wait for the Fed's policies to clarify, gradually build positions when Bitcoin hits 110,000 and Ethereum goes below 3,800, with individual position size ≤ 10%
Aggressives (long-term optimistic):
Use the pullback to position for Bitcoin's halving (in 2025, block rewards will decrease to 1.5625 coins, historically leading to significant increases), and invest weekly in mainstream coins
Flexibles:
Focus on safety margins — Bitcoin's 200-day moving average and Ethereum's strong support zone at 4,000 USD, set a stop loss at 5-8%
💡 Important reminder
The crypto market's connection with the macro economy deepens, and Trump's tariff policy's indirect effects on inflation may become an 'invisible straw'. Remember: bear markets often begin with 'policy uncertainty + liquidity contraction', but rebounds may occur at the most pessimistic times
